Sequins and Sea Breezes: Weekending

Weekending

10/05/2015


Coffee and Mascara
Happy Monday babes! Why does it always seem like the weekends go by way too quickly? I swear, two days during the week feel like seven but two days during the weekend feel like 3 hours. Who do we talk to about fixing this? My schedule this week isn't too busy (fingers and toes crossed that it stays that way) so hopefully it should be a good week! I had some ups and downs last week so a nice uneventful week would be great! Linking up with my blogger love, Biana, for our weekend recap!

Friday night I grabbed a few beers with a co-worker. After a long, semi-stressful week it was just nice to unwind and chat with her about some things that had been bugging me. Being the "new" girl still it's hard gauging when someone is taking advantage of me and when something is actually my responsibility. I'm learning and I still LOVE my job but I think this past month in general was just stressful for me so I'm ready for my life to get back on schedule.

Epcot
Saturday morning I was up bright and early (ok, who am I kidding. I'm always up bright and early) to get ready to head to Epcot with the boys and Kerri for Food and Wine Fesitval. I haven't been to Disney in at least 5 years and I haven't been to Epcot since I was 4 or 5 years old so this was definitely almost a brand new experience for me. Actually it pretty much was since I've never been to Food and Wine Festival! Luckily, Kerri is a seasoned pro so she lead me through everything and made sure I went to the best spots. I'll recap more about Food and Wine Festival tomorrow so I don't completely overload this post! The weather was gorgeous and it was so nice just getting to walk around outside all day and hang out with my favorite people!

Sunday was spent recovering from Saturday. We did a TON of walking, which I'm not complaining about. Did you know Epcot is 300 acres which is more than twice the size of Magic Kingdom and only 35 acres smaller than Busch Gardens Tampa? The more you know... (where's my little star with the rainbow trail when you need it?) so we were pretty beat from all the walking. Luckily sitting around on a Sunday watching football is my ideal Sunday so I was a happy camper and the Bengals won so major bonus! I also made some amazing loaded baked potato soup since it was cooler out. I wish these temps would stay but I'm not holding my breath.



Hope everyone has a great week!

  16. I was so jealous of your Food & Wine Festival snaps!!! We were supposed to be at Disney THIS WEEKEND for my cousins 30th but we ended up not being able to go thanks to Nicks work schedule :( :( I kept looking for my cousin or you in the background of each others snapchats, haha!

  17. My legs actually hurt from walking last night, that and the fact Mark had quite the rigid schedule hahaha. We had to be in the park and at the holding area at Finnegans to get this house and this house done by a certain time. I love Epcot! Next year we may do the Disney year instead of the Universal. Those ears look adorable on you. Finally some cooler weather here in FL right?
